Hi everyone  
I have very extraordinary task.  
I want read /proc/self/mounts every 1 min (maybe every 5min)  
and read all lines from file all time.  
I have next config  
- type: log  
paths:  
- /proc/self/mounts  
close\_removed: true  
ignore\_older: 1m  
clean\_inactive: 2m  
But after deleting /proc/self/mounts from /var/lib/filebeat/registry, file /proc/self/mounts not reading again.  
What you can recomend, in my case?
